Chapter 573 Family Trifles
"Oh! Oh! Let's eat prawns! Let's eat prawns!" Zhuangzhuang jumped and shouted happily.
"Brother-in-law, please give me the box!" Little Carrot stepped forward and took the box.
Now, Little Carrot Head is almost a young man. He is just over nine years old, and his height has already reached 1.5 meters. He will definitely not be shorter in the future.
In the past few years, not only Little Carrot Head, but also several other children, including Xiuxiu Juanjuan, have grown like crazy because they have no shortage of food and sufficient nutrition.
Xiangzi, Gangzi, and Zhuzi are three and a half years old, and the fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old is already over 1.7 meters tall.
A serious young man.
At this time, Xiangzi and others were studying in the room.
Regarding studying, Tong Mei was very strict. It hurt, but if she didn't study hard, she would be really beaten.
"Why didn't you study?"
"I've finished studying, and I've finished my homework a long time ago! I'm helping eldest sister take care of Shuoshuo and Guoguo." Little Luobotou said proudly, holding his head high.
The little carrot head lived up to his big head. He was indeed very smart. He couldn't handle his primary school studies at all. He took 100 tests in every subject and ranked first in the school.
Naturally, Tong Mei indulged him a little and allowed him to finish his homework and go out to play.
In addition, as a study assignment, you have to continue to review your homework.
"Don't be proud! Go back and memorize the Suwen and Lingshu chapters of the Huangdi Neijing.
I’ll give you a test in a while!”
"Okay! When will the exam be taken?"
"At the end of the year! During the Chinese New Year, I will test you. Whoever memorizes it best will be rewarded!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.
Originally, I thought that these children in my family would be able to go to college in the future, but now, counting the time, they are not destined to go to college.
Including the eldest Zhuzhu, Xiangzi and Gangzi, they are not destined to go to college.
In terms of time, they have enough time to get into college.
However, before they graduated from college, chaos began in the university.
It's better not to go to such a university.
There are still two years until they graduate from junior high school, so let’s talk to them again!
If you want to study medicine, just wait until you graduate from high school and come to a training class.
If you want to do something else, go to a technical secondary school and consider other options in the future.
As for going to the countryside, as long as he doesn't fall, there's no need to worry about it, he can protect him.
Zhang Yan led Zhuang Zhuang into the house and saw his two little sons sitting in the crib playing happily in the main room.
Seeing Zhang Yan come in, Shuo Shuoguo got up from the crib, held on to the guardrail, stretched his hands towards Zhang Yan, and shouted: Dad, Dad!
Zhuo Guoguo, who is more than one year old, already knows how to call mom, dad, grandpa and grandma.
No need to ask, this is again thanks to the little carrot head.
Zhang Yan bent down and reached out to pick up his two sons, "Son, do you miss your father?"
"think!"
"Kiss daddy!"
"Bo!"
One left and one right, Zhang Yan's face was smeared with saliva.
Good guys, it’s better to have twin sons. In the past, when Zhuangzhuang was young, Qiqi would also smear saliva on his face, but he could only smear half of his face.
Now, just apply it all over your face.
"Now the price of food in Pigeon Market has increased again!" Tong Mei sighed.
"How do you know? Someone comes to buy food again?"
"Well! Tong Qi came today and bought twenty kilograms of Erhe noodles." Tong Mei said.
Food is always being sold for takeout, but it is not sold with much fanfare and there are only six or seven regular customers.
These seven or eight customers are all bannermen.
I made a lot of money in one year. I collected hundreds of fine antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even more gold. I collected about 200 small yellow croakers.
Even so, everyone was still grateful and thought Tong Mei was taking care of them.
Tong Mei's identity played some role here.
Neither Zhang Yan nor Tong Mei wanted to expand the scope of their transactions, nor did they try to make a fortune by selling part of the food that their families could not eat.
"We don't have much food at home."
"Tear down the flower beds in the courtyard and sell the grain bricks to them." Zhang Yan said with a smile.
"Can those grain bricks still be eaten?"
"Why can't you eat it? Grain bricks can be stored for more than ten years without breaking!
You tell them, this grain brick is a good thing, it contains Chinese medicinal materials, which is very good for nourishing qi and blood." Zhang Yan explained with a smile.
At the beginning, Zhang Yan had just traveled through time and felt insecure.
Therefore, I saved a lot of grain and asked my uncle to help make a batch of grain bricks.
As a result, he completely forgot about his system.
There are thousands of things in the book.
He doesn't have to worry about it at all. He can't eat all the food and various materials that are rewarded to him in the system space.
Even in his hometown, because of his idea to grow pumpkins, no one in eight villages around Zhangjiayu went hungry due to natural disasters.
These grain bricks have naturally been placed there and have not been moved.
"Okay! Tomorrow in the afternoon, I will ask Gangzi and the others to dismantle the flower beds." Tong Mei nodded and agreed.
The flower bed is made of real bricks on the inside, and a layer of grain bricks is added on the outside, and then a layer of cement is plastered on it.
As for whether it will break or not, and whether it is afraid of being exposed to rain, in the past, landlords and wealthy people would just use grain bricks to build walls.
Some people just build toilets with bricks to keep them secret.
People who have never experienced famine or war will never know how terrible famine and war are.
Building a toilet with grain bricks may sound dirty, but compared to being hungry, it's nothing.
In a time when the tree bark was stripped bare and even the Guanyin soil was eaten, the grain bricks built in the toilet were no big deal.
"Don't worry. Judging from the current situation, this food shortage will continue for another two to three years."
"Will it continue for two or three years? How many people will die?" Tong Mei exclaimed in a low voice.
Many people have died now, but no one has reported it.
A large number of refugees came to Beijing. They couldn't afford food at home. They all felt that Beijing was the capital, so they all came to Beijing.
Every street in Beijing, as well as the towns and villages below, are in a state of emergency.
Naturally, the capital, which is the most virtuous place, cannot watch those fleeing from famine starving to death on the streets.
Everyone is trying their best to resettle these victims.
Those bachelors in Beijing have taken full advantage of them. As long as they are willing, the state will allocate wives to them.
Therefore, you can often hear: "Xiao Wang, do you want a wife?"
"Xiao Li, do you want a wife?"
"Lao Zhou, you are not young anymore. I will send you a daughter-in-law!"
This is really not a movie, it's a real thing.
Just like that, the daughter-in-law was delivered to the door, but many people were still unwilling to take it.
It’s hard to eat by yourself. How will you support yourself if you have a wife?
If you want a wife, you have to have children. How will you live this life?
However, there is an advantage in these two years. As long as you want a wife, you can settle down immediately.
There will be no situation where the daughter-in-law’s household registration is in a rural area and the child will follow the mother and have no food source.
